Finally got around to stealing my wife's phone and snapping some pics of my kit.

It started its life as a Yamaha Stage Custom Birch in 24x17, 16,12 with a crappy steel snare. Kevin from Crazy 8's drums sliced the kick down to a much more sensible 14" depth (14 crew!!) and redid all the edges then wrapped the whole thing in the lovely red snakeskin fabric. The black FT is an 18" Drumcraft series 8 which never comes to gigs. Just another toy for the practice space.

The snare is a 30's 14x6.5 Leedy COB that I scored on a trip to Flagstaff where I proposed to my wife. At the present time it is my favorite snare.

Axis pedal and mish-mash stands. I use Gibraltar flat base when I leave the house.

Take a look and tell me how beautiful everything is. I'll be happy to answer any questions as long as they are submitted in writing and in a English accent. I will also accept a Welsh accent and possibly Australian.

Oh, and I think the cowbell is an LP, the triangle was purchased on the same trip to the pawnshop where I bought the engagement ring. I'm seeing a trend here...

Hah! Great eye there T. It is a 60's (I believe) Rogers Holiday 20x14, Has a weird tom mount installed and is missing a hoop and half of the T-rods and claws. I think I'm going to sell it but I have no idea what its worth in that condition.

I love this ride. Somewhat recently moved it to the main crash spot right next to the hats and it has not moved. It serves as a crash that works remarkably well in everything I play and as a second washy ride which compliments the K beautifully.
